Reserves in Action - Ipswich Town News
Town's reserves could win the FA Premier Reserve League (South) tonight when they take on Spurs at Stevenage's Broadhall Way (KO 7pm). Dale Roberts is sticking to the nucleus of the side he has used all season and won't draft in more senior players.
Back in contention for a place is Pablo Couñago who is now over his ankle injury. He looks likely to play alongside Richard Naylor with top scorer Darren Bent not involved.
Darren Ambrose will be in the midfield while Wayne Brown continues his return to fitness after his hamstring problem. South African centre-half Justin Miller is back after a foot injury.
Mike Salmon returns in goal after spending recent weeks on the first team bench.
Squad: Salmon, Artun, Snowdon, Nicholls, J Miller, Brown, Ambrose, Bloomfield, Naylor, Couñago, Westlake, Logan, Price, Richards, Robinson, Beevers.
